What are the ages of your girls? That might help someone to make a recommendation. My 13-year old granddaughter loves to cook when she's here (with supervision, of course). She's become quite the cupcake and muffin baker as well as pizza maker but uses my cookbooks.

My 5 year old loves to cook with me and she likes to look in my Gluten Free Almond Flour Cookbook, but she prefers to take her old kids cookbooks and see what she has to change to make the recipes gluten free.

I let my 10 yr old cook although it's a progression of things (for example, she can use the oven independently, but not the stove). She first started by doing box items, cake/brownie mixes, no bake cookies, pudding, etc. We don't really use cookbooks a lot (although I love to look through them for ideas). We find our favorites and she uses our recipes.

She made dinner last night from a pork loin (marinated in mojo sauce), steamed rice (from a rice steamer), and steamed veggies (steamer bag in microwave). My littlest (who is 7) is making chili in the crockpot tonight (we have our beans cooking now and she'll add items I have prepped for her).

I think it's good to teach kids to cook. Simple things first, then more complex. They can always help by measuring, washing food items, etc.

We got "Eat Like a Dinosaur" from the library and enjoyed it. I may even buy it from Amazon. Another one I liked (not a kids book, but not hard) was "Everyday Paleo". We are not a paleo family, but I tend to like those cookbooks more. Some of the gluten-free ones are just silly (regular recipes that just sub in gluten-free products . . . like Grilled Cheese Sandwich (use gluten-free bread!) and Lasagna - use gluten-free noodles!) the paleo books avoid all this and use regular, easy to find ingredients.

Try your library first . . . when you find one you like, buy it.

Our library didn't have "Eat like a Dinosaur", but I found it at Walmart for $16.60 which is cheaper then Amazon so I bought it for my daughter for Easter. It looks like a great book.

I love Wheat-Free, Gluten-Free Cookbook for Kids and Busy Adults. When DD was diagnosed this cook book was a lifesaver! Most of the recipes are fairly simple and there are kid friendly things in the back-I believe crafty recipes but I haven't looked at it in a while.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
